Did you think the game having ugly female characters was "interesting"? Well, think again.




I can no longer name my character gangbang because it seems that in a singleplayer it will trigger me. Thank you Obsidian for saving my life.

 

[DynamiteCop!]

Yeah this kind of crap in single players games is dumb, if it's multiplayer it's understandable but not here.

 

[brap]

Further proof this game was made by SJWs. I wanted to name my character Bimbo or Slut. At least I can name them Cum Fag or Fag Cum. Great job missing out on those two.

 

[struggler_guts]

That's definitely one of the dumbest waste of resources I've seen

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

Seriously? In a single-player game? But, why?

 

[michaelius]

Is there even online mode in it ?

 

[Teslerum]

Does not apply to all versions per CrustyBritches

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I'm still annoyed when I can't enter my initials in arcade games as SEX. I've been persecuted longer than any of you chodes.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

My guy ended up looking like a douchebag so I named him Jeremy Renner. How is that possible when he’s been canceled? smdh

Interesting. Which versions/platforms does it apply to?

based I can still play as Jeffery Epstein

This guy has to be the luckiest actor n all of Hollywood. Guy gets paid millions for a character nobody cares about.

I watch Marvel movies for Hawkeye...... said nobody ever.

Oh, is this a console thing?

He's on XBOX/US
I'm on PC/EU and I have it (the filter I mean. Can't use all words)

 

[TacosNSalsa]

At least I know one word that isn't censored

 

[Dr.brain64]

Probably a standard in the industry for blocked words. Good for them for using it.

People using those words... disgusting.

 

[Bkdk]

If I didn’t remember wrong, obsidian caved to a outrage of a few LGBT people in pillars of eternity. It causes massive outrage in their official forums but they decide to side with that few triggered LGBT. Now they censor even more words and decide to side with a few unsecured women to make all female npcs look ugly. I bet this is the real reason why they don’t want to support modding.

Would you say blowjob is offensive? I'm assuming you have received one or gave on in your life and as such, you should probably feel disgusted by it, going by your post.

Maybe it's an EU thing with all their stupid hate speech laws. Maybe Obsidian is afraid you'll make a hateful name for a character and then call the Metro Police on yourself

 

[Holammer]

'Abeed' is not listed on the pastebin document.
They're lucky it's an EGS exclusive (or rather Steam Excluded) title or I'd roll a character named just that.
yes I know it's on the Xbox thing, don't care

 

[-Arcadia-]

We’re really used to SJW games being brazen with stuff like this.

I’m curious to see the reaction to a bunch of smaller things. In a way, it’s more insidious, because it’s not so obvious.

Wouldn't put it past our ratings boards to be honest. Well, anyway. Hopefully Obsidian will clarify next week.

See three options:

1. They did it intentionally by themselves. Then the question is, why is it not on all versions?
2. Platform demanded. Also has the question mark here since XBOX and PC Gamepass are or should be the same thing.
3. Region demanded? By who, and do we have to fear that this is becoming a regular thing in games?

Geki-D , you’ll notice they don't advertise the name and job position of the person who did this in the credits

Can't be platform demanded because PC is not a single unified platform like Xbox or PS

To further clarify, I have Game Pass Ultimate, so I tested both Xbox and Game Pass PC. I live in the US.

If people are interested to narrowing down why this is happening, post your:
1. Platform->
2. Country->
3. Censored?->

Example: CrustyBritches
1. Platform-> Game Pass Xbox+PC
2. Country->USA
3. Censored?->No

Oh, no.

Oh, no. Please don't tell me I'm right and this is the ESRB again. Fucking hell.



What a bunch of douches.

I fed the list to my AI verbot, who can now insult in 20 languages.

P.S.- The languages populating this list will probably tell you a lot about where the censorship is occurring and why. I'd like for somebody to test this on PS4 in the US. I think DynamiteCop! said he had both versions(or was this just PC+Xbox?).

Originally I was joking when I said it was probably an EU thing with their ridiculous "hate speech" laws, but thinking about it some more Obsidian may be self-censoring the game proactively in the EU due to their ridiculous "hate speech" laws. The EU courts recently mandated that American social media companies be required to delete any and all "hateful" posts.

I was just typing a P.P.S. to say this...

P.P.S.- This list is highly "protective" of Islam and LGBTQ++, while heterosexuals and other religions are fair game. Apparently, you can't name yourself "Fascist" in French. (eu...cough...eu)

"Spaghettifresser"...hahaha

"Wagina"...

So don’t name your character “Gay” then? Fucking idiots.

[CrustyBritches]

And definitely don't call them "Pakastani, greaseball, Hitler, Macarroni(and cheese?), Nas(rapper?), race, romano(cheese?), sap(trees?), talib(muhammed's uncle?)"

Can somebody try typing in "Human Race", "Romano Cheese", or "Tree Sap" for me? Need to see how far down the rabbit hole goes.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Can someone try making a character to see if the names Dick or Richard are outlawed?

 

[VertigoOA]

Some try Marika.... it’s Greek for cd or tranny. Pousti is the other for when they don’t choose mutilation as a goal in life.

both are extremely derogatory...

I was wondering who could possibly get triggered by the inclusion of offensive names in a single player game, and then I came into this thread and got my answer. They do exist.

Most of these names aren't even offensive. If somebody wants to name their character Bimbo for their own amusement why not let them?

 

[EDMIX]

I like how they are out here saving us from ourselves.

Also...this is the main reason I won't buy this game, yup the names are the fun, that is the reason to play anything and at least 99% of all fun to be had in game.../s

 

[CyberPanda]

Agreed 100%

 

[CrustyBritches]

Can some of our South American friends try this out for us? Insane Metal do you have Game Pass right now? Still need someone from the US to give this a shot on PS4.

I put this censor list(narrowed down to words I can understand) and a list of the 100 most common words into a random sentence generator and holy shit. So fucking funny. Some are just too hardcore to post here, but it's similar to this...
"do more or you have of a day to minge"
"blowjob thing rape of its wagina up them boukak"

[MayauMiao]

Can you name the character Trump?

 

[Fbh]

This is just stupid for a strictly single player game.

 

[dirthead]

Yeah this kind of crap in single players games is dumb, if it's multiplayer it's understandable but not here.

It's world of warcraft penis envy. A lot of games have it. HEY GUYS MAYBE IF WE COPY THE MOST SUPERFICIAL RESTRICTIONS OF WOW WE'LL BE A PHENOMENON TOO.

Classic idiocy.
